Once a proud and courageous symbol of the fight to end the Iraq war, Sheehan was the Left's symbol of courage, moral authority, and the antiwar movement's Joan of Arc.

But no more. Cindy Sheehan has been shunned by her comrades on the Left. She came to realize that the anti-war left had been using her all along - and committed the mortal sin of saying so. Cindy Sheehan in her personal grief and torment was but a "useful idiot" to the Left, useful for the anti-war movement's political objectives.

"Yesterday she violated Rule One of nutroots politics as articulated by the Chairman himself: she undermined the Democratic Party.

"Twenty-four abusive hours later, on a day dedicated to honor people like her son, Mother Sheehan’s decided it’s time to pitch one last attention-getting fit and then take her absolute moral authority ball and go home,"says Allahpundit

Many saw it coming.

"When a mother looses a son, preeminent in the psychology of grief is the emotion of anger and rage. This is the phenomenon that we are currently experiencing with Cindy Sheehan, a woman whose son died in Iraq, a mother in crisis being manipulated by political forces with little regard concerning her emotional health." This according to Robert R. Butterworth, Ph.D. a psychologist that specializes in trauma.

Dr. Butterworth feels that Ms. Sheehan is delaying the grieving process concerning her son and will be destitute when the media move on to the next story and she is forgotten and left alone.

Butterworth feels that in is unconscionable for political forces, regardless of their positions to take advantage of mothers who are grieving for their sons both for and against the Iraq war.

Jim Fetzer, once the darling of the 9/11 Truth Movement, saw it coming too. From his redoubt in Duluth, MN, Fetzer told reporters, "I feel Cindy's pain. I too was shunned, tossed aside by the 9/11 Truth Movement like so much raw pork."

Fetzer has been mercilessly attacked by 9/11 Truthers for looking at alternative theories about the 9/11 attacks. Fetzer is currently working with co-conspirator Dr. Judy Wood on the likelihood that the World Trade Center towers were destroyed by Star Wars Beam Weapons.

"These kids are intoxicated with themselves, with celebrities, and with video games. They are clueless about the real world and believe the official 9/11 Truth Movement story is the holy grail and their ticket to God-knows-where.

(BNN - May 26, 2007 - Lake Jackson, TX) - In an effort to revive his fledgling presidential bid, Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) has responded to charges of being a racist and in bed with the 9/11 Truth Movement.

In an impromptu interview with BNN correspondent Stone Farmcracker, Paul admits to being insensitive to racial minorities in the past. Some of the quotes uncovered:

"If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be."

"Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual liberty and the end of welfare and affirmative action."

"Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the `criminal justice system,' I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal," Paul said.

...although "we are constantly told that it is evil to be afraid of black men, it is hardly irrational. Black men commit murders, rapes, robberies, muggings and burglaries all out of proportion to their numbers."

"We don't think a child of 13 should be held responsible as a man of 23. That's true for most people, but black males age 13 who have been raised on the streets and who have joined criminal gangs are as big, strong, tough, scary and culpable as any adult and should be treated as such."

(BNN - May 26, 2007 - Istanbul, Turkey) - Noted 9/11 Conspiracist Alex Jones confirmed to BNN that he has been invited to the secretive annual Bilderberg Group meeting to be held in Istanbul, Turkey from May 31 to June 3.

The Bilderberg Group is a secretive organization of the world's most influential political and business leaders, all accused of controlling the world behind the scenes. No reporters are allowed nor are any reports issued.

"This year’s delegation will once again include all of the most important politicians, businessmen, central bankers, European Commissioners and executives of the western corporate press," reports Daniel Estulin who has chronicled the Bilderberg Groups' global conspiracy in many books.

Alex Jones, noted promoter of 9/11 and other conspiracy theories, has followed the Bilderberg group for years. In 2006, Canadian authorities detained him for 15 hours at the Canadian border. Jones is noted for "bullhorning" Bilderberg meetings.

Asked why a reporter dedicated to exposing the group's conspiracy to dominate the world would be invited, Jones said, "I think they invited me to shut me up."

Wouldn't the group fear Jones's reporting of the meeting's proceedings, BNN asked? "That depends on whether I can subvert its mind-control techniques. Look for a full report on Infowars.com on June 4 - or not."

(BNN - May 19, 2007 - New York, NY) - In the first candid admission on record by a 9/11 Truth Movement leader of being wrong, Steven Jones (above, left) admitted today that he and other 9/11 researchers "screwed up on the collapse time of WTC 7. We blew it."

For years, Jones and others have claimed that WTC 7 collapsed in 6.5 seconds, nearly free fall speed.

Jones's admission comes on the heels of a debate on the Rob Bishop show last night when Jason Bermas (above, right), one of the amateur filmmakers responsible for the film, "Loose Change", became flustered when the question of the WTC 7 collapse time came up. Bermas was confronted with the CBS video of the collapse of WTC 7 clearly showing it took over 13 seconds to collapse from beginning to end.

"That is a fantasy! I've looked at all the videos. WTC 7 collpased in 6.5 seconds, period!", Jason declared in a nervous voice.

"The CBS video clearly shows that the East Penthouse collapsed first, followed by the West Penthouse and the rest of the structure. Between the beginning of the East Penthouse collapse and the beginning of the structure collapse, 7 seconds went by. The structure collapse then took an additional 6 - 7 seconds," Pat explained.

Pat pointed out that the 9/11 Truth Movement has inexplicably argued against its own controlled demolition theory for years.

"The CBS video demonstrates that internal collapses were taking place in WTC 7 before the entire structure fell. The 9/11 Truth Movement could have argued that bombs were going off inside of WTC 7 to weaken the structure so structure collapse could take place, just like internal explosives are set off to cause a structure collapse in real controlled demolitions. Instead, they adamantly argue that no internal collapse took place before the building collapsed. Isn't that strange?"

Responding to the overnight controversy, Steven Jones announced this morning that WTC 7 did indeed take over 13 seconds to collapse.

"We screwed up. We had never seen the CBS video when we claimed that it took WTC 7 6.5 seconds to collapse. We only relied on the street video that does not show the Penthouses. By the time we saw the CBS video, we had so much invested in the 6.5-second collapse time, we could not disappoint our supporters who were successfully using the 6.5 free fall time to push 9/11 Truth. We just ignored the evidence.

Asked how his revelation would affect 9/11 Truth, Jones said it would enhance and strengthen it.

Jones said, "There is no question that bombs went off in WTC 7 to weaken the internal structure before the building came down. That is obvious from the video and why it took over 13 seconds for WTC 7 to collapse."

(BNN - May 13, 2007 - Philadelphia, PA) - University of Pennsylvania psychology professor, Gerard Stilkins, is leading a group of university psychology professors in a six-month study of what he says is the "largest outbreak of apantophobia since the Middle Ages."

Apantophobia - the fear of answers - is largely unknown in educated populations but was common in history, most recently in Europe during the Bubonic Plague (Black Death) pandemic of 1347 - 1350.

Prof. Gerard Stilkins explained that apantophobia was common during the period of the Bubonic Plague when Church officials could not deliver on their promise to eliminate the disease and cure its victims.

"Strange religious sects appeared as the fearful looked for someone to blame for the pestilence, reflecting the lack of control one felt over one's own life. One sect, the Flagellants, pitifully flogged themselves in manic religious processions hoping to avoid any unpleasant answers as to the real cause of the plague. Research has since shown that Flagellants actually suffered from apantophobia."

Prof. Stilkins began to notice the signs of apantophobia in his students devoted to 9/11 Truth in late 2002. "These students were passionate in their cause, demanding answers to questions about the 9/11 attacks. I became curious when I noticed over the last several years that most of the questions had been answered reasonably and logically with specific evidence many times over. These students did not seem to notice and kept on asking the same questions over and over, blank stares on their faces. They had all of the characteristics of the Flagellants of the Middle Ages."

The sufferer can be of any age, sex, or race, but is predominantly young, male, and insecure.

The sufferer needs a cause; the nature of the cause is irrelevant but must be large and impressive to the sufferer.

Questions related to the cause are all-important, revered in a religious-like manner.

The phobia is characterized by long time periods of obsessive question development to avoid thinking about answers.

Questions that are answered are nervously challenged with another question or ignored completely.

If the answer is ignored, the answer is the correct one.

If the answer is challenged with another question, the answer is the correct one.

In either case, the question is recycled for later use unless the question brings back unpleasant memories of the answer.

If questioned, the sufferer takes it as a personal affront, and replies with a question in a distinctive haughty tone.

Over the long term, the phobia leads to declining health and long periods of suffering in dark rooms or closets.

There is no known cure for apantophobia but Prof. Stilkins believes a strategy of repeated, controlled immersion in the correct answers might reduce the fear of answers within the 9/11 Truth Movement, much as putting people in rooms full of snakes or spiders eliminates those respective phobias.

"Mass manic apantophobia has not been seen in modern times and it is disturbing to see the 9/11 Truth Movement made up exclusively of apantophobics," Prof Stilkins says.

"We are hopeful that immersion in knowledge, reason, and truth will relieve, if not eliminate, their suffering."

(BNN - May 6, 2007 - New York City) - Another lawsuit may be added to the a number already filed by members of the 9/11 Truth Movement against government agencies and businesses.

J. "Spanky" Sparkette today accused the New York Port Authority of a kickback scheme during the original construction of the World Trade Center Towers. Sparkette is New York Divisional Vice President of Communications for the 9/11 Truth Movement.

According to Sparkette spray-on flame retardants were used to coat floor trusses and other exposed steel beams when "it is a well known fact that fire cannot melt nor soften steel."

The final NIST report on the collapse of the World Trade Center towers attributed the impact forces of the 767s knocking off the flame retardants from the floor trusses as a significant cause of the trusses' weakening from fire and the towers' eventual collapses. Asbestos was banned from use in flame retardants in 1971 when the towers were still under construction, having reached the 64th floor. Other materials were substituted for the remaining floors.

"Why do you think they banned asbestos? Clearly, the Port Authority of New York was profiting from this blatant abuse of the public trust," Sparkette claimed.

A spokesperson for the Port Authority of New York expressed disbelief. "You mean these kooks think flame retardents have no purpose?"
